G. Raymond Gavery Poem
Sun’s splendor orange ball spread
O’re granite giants and tame vales
Wild wind’s daring waft he rode
How mystic, oh fate; ired dragon
By ired hero’s hand slayed
Upon chariot fierce steeds
Thunder and spear soiled the field
Slain souls of victory sang
In smote rows of flesh and blood
As his blade through palace rang
The sward she tamed with her lips
And arrow through heart deep
As she rose throne high
The queen veiled in black art
Of sweet caress and honey wine
And poison from the snake's heart

G. Raymond Gavery Poem
Ode to Love
Oh; sweet love of years
Oh; mercy of shrunk time left
Oh; memory of downy touches
The few times we together spent
As Schubert’s love serenade
Meadow’s daffodils played
Rolled in softness of grass
Like children; we pretended
Hide and seek with no success
As I write this ode to love
Yes; your precious love
Time will never break a glass
To a friend I send my bouquet
Of kisses; love and nothing less

G. Raymond Gavery Poem
Snowflaked angels falling lightly
In darkness of the evening stir
As I fallowed footsteps queerly
On old-fashioned horse with spur
To travel where others have been
Places where others have verified
I passed by the sleeping village
And fields frozen near by
Watched thatched roofs full of snow
Where other travelers sleeping lie
Then I rode the trodden path
Through the forest of antient blight
Into a meadow of angel buds
Blossoms of bright yellow groom
Wind stoked petals bright
Near a brook cheery and cool
I let the horse graze the land
I laid my head on soft ground
Hopping the brook will tell me
Where and why I came around
